Abstract

Chromatographic fractionation of the extract of Isodon henryi resulted in the isolation of seven new ENT-kaurane diterpenoids, named minheryins A-G (1-7), together with the six known ENT-kaurane diterpenoids leukamenin F (8), excisoidesin (9), leukamenin E (10), wangzaozin A (11), pseurata A (12), and racemosin A (13), which were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 7-13 were tested for their cytotoxicity against K562 and HepG2 cell lines, and they all exhibited significant activities with IC50 values<0.50 microg/mL. Isolates 1-5 were evaluated against the K562 cell line, and only 3 showed weak activity.
